Marcus was in his swim trunks, laughing loudly at a story about his boss, while I sat on the edge of a lounger, dangling my feet in the water.

"Tense," I murmured, taking a sip of my beer. "He’s... very strict."
"Yeah? Well, you always did have a thing for authority figures," Marcus teased. He leaned in closer, his voice dropping as he smiled. "Though, I gotta admit, I've missed you, Olise."
Before I could reply, the distinct sound of heavy footsteps on the stone patio echoed through the yard.
